A lot of South Africans approved of the new version of the song. The original version became an instant hit after it came out in 2019.

The song was part of Beyoncè’s The Lion King: The Gift, which made big waves as the artist included a lot of African talent on the record. South African rapper Anathi Mnyango was also involved in the making of the original song.

Luvuyo’s remix touched a lot of South African people. His voice complemented the beat beautifully, which made his version a joy to listen to. The youngster garnered over 300K views in 24 hours and was showered with massive praise online.

He also impressed himself and captioned his clip:

“No, but I ate this Brown Skin Girl cover. For all the brown-skinned girlies.”
